Im 71yrs and listen to all kinds of music however I have hooked on the Blues since I was a kid. I had relitives in New Orleans. My dad liked all kinds of music I was with him in a white man honky tonk when a man of color came in and started singing the blues. As a little boy I thought they were going to throw him in the lake. But he was one of many regulars. Go figure. From that day on I have hunting down Old Blues singers. Kind of thought I found most of them. Then watching a movie some guy tells another to hury up you move slower than Fats Waller. I looked him up and down the road I keep going. I think they have Love and Blues in Heaven!!!!! Peace Out and Love MMLZZZ
This touches my soul.
I love these!! Keep them coming
Me too. You and Fats are the best.
Musical geniuses...
Legends... Love the count. Love fats.
Count Basie was very well-spoken, not like many musicians today, unfortunately.

Fats did do some work with arranger for a larger band. What little there is makes me think he could have been a really wonderful big band leader.
